Every Directioner knows that One Direction‘s name came from a suggestion from Harry Styles. But what made Harry think that would be a good name for the group? He recently spilled the truth in an interview with an Australian talk show. The answer is below, but take our poll before you peek with your honest guess – then see if you were right (and what percentage of Directioners were too!).

The correct answer is B! Harry said, “Before we met up for the time to practice, we were texting each other names constantly. I kind of thought what would sound good when the X Factor man said it. So, then I texted the boys and they all seemed to like it.”
